Bearing Selection

The document discusses the selection and use of bearings. It describes the functions of bearings as supporting loads on shafts and locating shafts radially and axially. It covers the main types of bearings - sliding contact bearings and rolling contact bearings. Rolling contact bearings include ball bearings and roller bearings. Factors to consider in bearing selection include load type, dimensions, capacity, and service life. Proper installation of bearings also requires suitable shaft and housing designs as well as lubrication and sealing.

be classified into three
groups:

Solely radial loading

Solely axial loading

Selection of ball
bearings:
The bearing must be of the series best
suited to the installation, in regard to both:
capacity and
dimensions.
The type of bearing selected must be
suitable for the type of imposed load,
radial,
thrust or
combined.
The size of the bearing must be such as to
give the required length of service with
sufficient assurance.
Selection of ball
bearing
Bearings have to resist some combination
of radial and thrust loads.
Combined load must be reduced to an
equivalent radial load
In general the equivalent load Fe may be
computed by the equation:
Fe XFr YFa
X Y Type of bearing

1 1.5 Deep groove

0.5 1 Angular contact

0.5 2.5 Self aligning


Selection of ball

Experiments have shown that the
life of a ball bearing is a function of
the load it carries.

Cd: dynamic specific capacity of bearing.


Ln: Life of bearing in millions of revolution.

Installation of ball
bearings:
The shaft must be designed to
take the inner ring (race)., see
fig. (6.7)
A suitable mounting must be
designed for the outer ring
(race).
Lubrication must be provided
for the bearing
Methods of sealing the
lubricant and preventing
penetration of foreign matter
Fastening ball bearing to a shaft
Example2
A shaft is supported by two bearings. One of the
bearings carries a radial load of 1200 lb and an axial
load of 600 lb with minor shocks. The shaft runs at
230 rpm and operates 10 hours per day for 5 days per
week. Select a suitable ball bearing with a service life
of 2 years if the diameter of the shaft can be varied
between 31615and
312
inch.
